University of Helsinki
The University of Helsinki received this spring from Europe over 600 Erasmus and Nordplus applications and from the other continents in various programmes altogether over 100 applications for the autumn 2014 or for the whole academic year 2014-2015! We want to thank you all warmly for applying!
If your application is approved, you will receive your acceptance letter by e-mail, sent by your host faculty. Acceptance information is usually available around the mid-June or latest by the end of June. Before that your application is considered by your host faculty. Please try to wait patiently!
In addition to the acceptance e-mail, university bilateral exchange and ISEP, AEN, MAUI and North2North exchange students (not Erasmus SMS, Nordplus/Nordlys) will also receive an acceptance letter from the International Exchange Services. This letter is always sent to the coordinator of your home university, and you need it for the residence permit application.
It is very important that you notify the faculty and also the International Exchange Services immediately, if you need to cancel your exchange period or if there is a change in your exchange period.
Accepted exchange students will receive necessary information with the acceptance letter and newsletters during the summer and we have also gathered information about how to get started on the New Students website. You will meet our staff and other new international students latest at the Welcome Fair in August 27 – 28, 2014.
Remember also to apply for housing as soon as possible! More information about housing is available on the New Students site. Please contact HOAS (Foundation for Student Housing in the Helsinki Region) in case you have any questions about your HOAS housing application and you are not able to find the answer to your question on their site. Note also that HOAS-tenancy agreement is made for a fixed time and it cannot be terminated.
If you did not apply this time, the next application round for incoming exchange students begins in August! Stay tuned on our website!
